Replications are widely recognized as essential to the self-correcting nature of science. Interest in replication studies has grown markedly in both economics and psychology over the past decade. Nevertheless, they still represent a very small share of total publications. We discuss why most...

Differences in annual publication counts may reflect the dynamic of scientific progress. Declining annual numbers of publications may be interpreted as missing progress in field-specific knowledge. In this paper, we present empirical results on dynamics of progress in economic fields (defined by...

Die Kernfusion, bei der Atomkerne miteinander verschmolzen werden, verspricht saubere, sichere und nahezu unerschöpfliche Energie. Seit den 1950er Jahren legitimiert dieses Versprechen weltweit umfangreiche öffentliche Investitionen in die Forschung, ohne dass die energiewirtschaftliche...

Nuclear fusion research shifts focus: commercial niche products instead of energy generation. Nuclear fusion, in which atomic nuclei are fused, promises clean, safe, and virtually inexhaustible energy. Since the 1950s, this promise has justified extensive public investment in research, without...

Die Kernfusion wurde seit den 1940er Jahren für die militärische Nutzung entwickelt. Die Hoffnungen, diese Technik in wenigen Jahrzehnten für die Energieerzeugung nutzen zu können, haben sich bis heute nicht erfüllt. Trotz einiger medial aufgegriffener Erfolge, wie bei den Experimenten der...

This article examines the functions of book reviews in economics. Since most book reviews provide a description, an analysis, and an appraisal of a book's content, their first function is to highlight the book's existence, encourage or discourage readership, and offer post-publication peer...
